Study Abroad

Study abroad is a once in a lifetime chance to travel, study, and live in a foreign country. While pursuing a degree at Roosevelt University, you will have the opportunity to study abroad for a semester, summer or academic year. There are also internships abroad and virtual opportunities for students who are looking for a different kind of experience. You can earn Roosevelt credit for your pre-approved study abroad program, and your study abroad experience will be listed on your transcript!

Study Abroad Student Spotlight

Psychology major Ely Adams discusses his time at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. 

"As someone who didn’t think they would get to see Europe until my 30s, study abroad showed me parts and people of life that you literally cannot get without taking a chance."
